Can there be any Kinja comment section where you obsessed weirdos aren’t taking weak shots at the writers?

See, this response probably made you feel nice and snarky, but the fact that you care more about complaining and getting “dunks” on writers than giving feedback is kind of the problem.

I read a lot of the coverage of this movie here (articles written by different people) leading up to this review, and I’d have hardly called it “hype”.

“I don’t understand something, so it must be a conspiracy.”

“but the fact that you care more about us reading than us enjoying”

“Florence Pugh is a very good actress” is hardly a take so improbable that her publicist would have to be behind it.

The coverage of the drama and the film itself has been completely consistent with every other entertainment industry publication.

I mean, this review is hardly an outsider in its characterization of both Pugh and the movie itself. The Guardian, USA Today, IndieWire, Deadline, Daily Beast and The Hollywood Reporter all have some version of this same sentiment in their reviews: The movie has serious flaws but Pugh herself is very good in it. So…

Were they hyping it, though? There’s been a lot of breathless coverage of the behind the scenes shenanigans and feuds, but precious little said about the film itself.

Seemed like a clear parallel to OJ’s observation that the UFO is a predator that cannot simply be tamed for entertainment

I don’t really understand the whole discourse around if Nathan went too far with the child actors and the ethics of it? He was literally pointing out that the ethics around child acting in general is fucked, Sarah Polley’s whole book does a great job demonstrating that. And the manipulation of the adults is no…

I think there’s a lot to like here. The original series burned a lot of its goodwill with the final season, but this felt like a return to form of the earlier dialogue-driven years. George Martin’s involvement makes an obvious difference.

A perfectly acceptable, if not at times, galvanizing prologue. As Jenna mentioned in this recap, the cross-cutting between the jousting and the Targaryen Cesarian was brutal and effective elevating the pathos at hand.

The Dancing Baby will now cost $350 million per minute to animate.

I can’t help but think that if this had worked as intended, “troubled game experiences massive player dropoff” is likelier to get the game abandoned than fixed.

Still not enough.

You can believe Amber is an imperfect human and still acknowledge that the power dynamic in their relationship still skewed toward Johnny. 

I think you have this backwards. Millions have been trying to portray Depp as sone sort of saint who couldn’t possibly do anything wrong because Heard is an evil witch and they really loved him in some movies 30 years ago.

So Amber is the one that filed the documents with the court through Depp’s lawyers?
